BICYCLE BUNDLE STRAP.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 610,847, dated September 13, 1898.

Application filed August 1'7, 1897. Serial No. 648,544. (No model.)

To 00% whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, LEWIS LEVI, a citizen of the United States, residing at Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bicycle Bundle-Straps; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to bicycle bundlestraps; and it consists, essentially, of a strap having supplementary securing straps arranged in pairs and adapted to be applied to the handle-bars of a bicycle.

The invention further consists of the details of construction and arrangement of the several parts, which will be more fully hereinafter described and claimed. The object of the invention is to provide a convenient device for supporting bundles in connection with a bicycle in the form of a strap having attaching devices and wherein the parts are all simple and effective in their construction and operation, strong and durable, easily and readily applied in operative position, and comparatively inexpensive in the cost of manufacture.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a portion of a bicycle, showing the improved bundle-strap applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a detail perspective View of the bundlestrap disconnected from the bicycle.

Referring to the drawings, wherein similar numerals of reference areemployed to indicate corresponding parts in both views, the numeral 1 designates a strap of any suitable length and having a buckle 2 on one end and the opposite end provided with a series of apertures 3 for adj ustably applying the strap to a bundle. At opposite portions of the strap and secured thereto at one end by suitable rivets or other means are supplementary straps 4, having apertures 5 therein at their opposite ends and through which the said strap 1 is passed. The said supplementary straps 4 provide adjustable loops in connection with the strap 1 and are adapted to be placed over the handle-bars of a bicycle, as shown in Fig. 1, the said bars passing between the supplemental straps and the strap 1. The said supplemental straps are wider than the strap 1 and form a firm bearing and of course are tightened against the handlebars when the strap 1 is adjusted around the bundle carried by the device.

The several parts can be increased or decreased in dimension, as it is obviously apparent that many minor changes in the details of construction and arrangement of the several parts might be made and substituted for those shown and described without in the least departing from the nature or spirit of the invention.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is-- In a bicycle bundle-strap, the combination of an elongated main strap having a buckle at one end and openings in the opposite end and a supplementary broader strap permanently secured at one end to the said elongated strap intermediate of the ends of the latter and having a loop at the opposite end through which the said elongated strap is passed, the said supplementary strap being freely adjustable at the end where the loop thereof engages the elongated strap to slip over a part of a bicycle. y

In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
